This album was Noa's first attempt at lyric writing in Hebrew, all original, without leaning on the strong pillars of fine poetry. All the songs were written, arranged and produced in Israel by Gil and Noa with the exception of "Aval Ahava" ("But Love") that is a poem by Meir Vizeltier to which they wrote music. 
Noa & Gil also added "Niga el Hachalom" ("To Touch the Dream") by Shalom Hanoch, a song recorded in memory of the assassinated Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin. The song "Boker", which appears also on the album "Blue Touches Blue", appears here in its original version, as does "On and On", in its Hebrew version. It was released only in Israel but has since been "smuggled" across the border to fans all over the world, who couldn’t wait for the next international release... It’s a beautiful album that was the stem from which "Blue Touches Blue"eventually blossomed.
